Where Sportsbox is stronger
Sportsbox goes further than any other phone app on 3D body measurement. From one video, it builds a 3D model and reports movements such as sway, turn, tilt and side bend, compares them with elite ranges, and lets you practice toward measurable targets. Many teaching professionals use it, so if your coach does, Sportsbox fits naturally into your lessons.
Where Teeo is stronger
Numbers are only useful if you know which one to change first. Teeo is designed for that step: AI review chooses one practice priority and gives you a drill, and your swings are kept by session so you can compare them side by side and follow progress trends. It records swings hands-free, includes a 3D body model for posture, and all features are free during the public beta.

Common questions
Is Sportsbox good for beginners?
Sportsbox works for any level, but its strength is detailed 3D measurement, which can be a lot to interpret without a coach. Beginners practicing alone may find an app that picks one priority at a time, such as Teeo, easier to act on.
Is Teeo an alternative to Sportsbox?
Yes, if you want guidance more than measurements. Both analyze a phone video of your swing and include a 3D body model, but Teeo focuses on one practice priority and progress across sessions, while Sportsbox focuses on detailed 3D metrics compared with elite ranges.
Do I need special equipment for either app?
No. Both work from an iPhone video. Use a tripod or lean the phone against your bag, and film from straight down-the-line or face-on with your whole body in frame.
